I 'swam' (more like waddled) to the deep end once without knowing then my sister told me I was in the deep end (knowing I can't float/swim) and then I panicked and started to drown. Confidence is quite important. It's all in our heads.
Yeah that happened to me too but my mom told me to go and she will hold but when I search for her I found out she was with my brother and then I started panicking and drawning but then a man came up and saved me . I felt like it was the last for me it was horrible actually :-\
Lol I'm here because my kids 11 and 6-year-old. Did the same thing to me and I'm 39 they told me that I was in the deep end I panicked luckily the corner was not too far off and I swam over there or whatever I did. You're right it is all in your head it's the feeling of not being grounded. It's easier to learn at a early age that's what my kids did with no help from me cuz I don't get in anything I can't stand in.
Damn. I would've just told you to come to a shallower area and said you were on the deeper end and that you were floating lol. Kinda gives you a confidence boost
I am so afraid to go down. Once my feet leave the ground I panic. I should focus on controlling myself in the water. Instead I allow the water to take control of me. It's definitely the power of ones mind and a little confidence. I hope to be swimming soon.
The fact that this guy has taught me more in 5 minutes compared to what my school taught me is actually shocking, at school they only teach you to swim laps not how to float or even equalise pressure my squeezing your nose than breathing out
In many of EU schools (specifically Nordic countries), an approved swimming test (containing: 200 meter non stop chest swimming + 50 meter non stop back swimming + rescuing a doll from 3+ meter depth) is required to obtain a grade in sport subject, and the test shall not exceed 20-30 minutes for all the 3 parts
Lmao same, i've only been practicing with neck deep pool height might be the main reason why tho. It's kinda hard to find a swimming pool that deep in here tbf
I am 8 years old. And if you want to swim, there are 2 parts, 1 part: learning how to float. 2:learning how to move forward. This video was rlly helpful! My mom already taught me how to move forward so I just needed to float. This video was perfect! Tysm!
@@joeycheckers114 Ah come on. Never ever is this thing 8 years old. It is the same old Story: A somewhat young person commenting under adult videos just fishing for likes...
I love your instructions. It sounds way better than the other videos I’ve watched. I’m 25 atm and I’ve never had enough balls to learn to swim. I was planning to learn through classes, but the pool is deep and that alone is holding me back from going. That and a bit of embarrassment. However, I know a hotel that has a five foot pool. Shitty depth but I’m a shitty swimmer. I just came from your other video. I’ll be trying the other one first before this one.
As someone who really wants to learn how to float in the water and afraid of the deep, I find this video very helpful and give confidence that I will be fine next time if I do this steps. Thank you very much 😊
I'm learning swimming and I've sort of got the basics, I think the last part is to learn how to float in the deep end and to get over my fear. the video initally was scary for me but watching him at the end of the video swimming down to the bottom then calmingly floating up was kind of soothing so i hope my fear goes away soon and i get to get back to swimming after Covid is over :)
I once went to one of my friends' house because they told me that they wanted to do their homework with me. But once I got there, I saw them swimming in the pool with 2 of my other friends, and then I said "I thought we're gonna do our homework together?" And then one of them said "Oh come on, we're just having fun together. Do you want to join us?" I can't swim but I wanted to join, and so I tried to float like in this video, but instead I was floating at the surface in a sleeping position and I don't know how the heck I managed to do that to this day
I used to be so scared of water and never knew how to swim. Watching this video made me gain my confidence and now i know how to float!(without drowning lol)
You should lay on your back while floating. Move your arms behind your head in the water. That will help lift your chest and stomach out of the water. Relax your legs at the knee and let the lower legs hand down in the water. Your pelvis and chest should be at water level. Breathe normally or slowly while briefly holding your breath to maintain buoyancy. Use your arms and legs to move your body through the water. You can float and swim in the water like this indefinitely without getting tired.
Thank you... I was panicking to jump in d pool... But got d confidence from hearing u that "as long as our lungs are full of air, u want sink, u will float up again automatically..." Thank u again...
You make this look so easy even I know it's as easy as it seem but the anxiety and panick attack already ruin everything but at least now I know the steps
I'm currently at a swimming lesson and my instructor isnt the best at explaining so your videos have been helping a lot! Now I have a little more hope about actually learning how to swim! Thank you!!
I remembered when I was a kid and I was 6.5ft and the pool was 8ft I recalled my P.E teacher saw me panicking and I even raised my hand which was a bad idea because I sank quicker. Luckily I remembered floating and backstroke...
After watching your video, I learned how to swim in a matter of one hour! For years I tried to learn how to swim but couldn't get rid of my fear of water. Thank you for your tips. God bless you!
How could u dive so deep like this, I once dived like 2 meters n then I felt great pain in my ears I just felt like if sthng inside it was torn like a paper
this is probably late to say and maybe you already learned, but you can see on some moments on the vid he pinches his nose. That prevents the ear hurting. Now your ears hurt because of the water pressure and if you go really deep your eardrums may explode. So what you need to do is, pinch your nose when you feel the pressure get you and then blow your nose slightly but not too harsh just a little bit until you feel your eardrums get back to their position. You will understand when you do it. sorry for late comment maybe this would help you
thank u so much for making my fear of drowning gone i watched this video a year ago and it helped me end my fears and now i can swim thank u so so so much
Thank you for this superb explanation of this basic technique which is so important to stay in deep water! Your videos are very helpful for beginners :)
im here today cause i almost drowned yesterday while trying to stay afloat. it was my first time on a deep end pool wherein I can't reach the floor. i carefully tried to dip in slowly to the water but i ended up panicking which then i forgot the "keep the air in your lungs so you'll float" when i was trying so hard to catch my breath due some instant breakdown while on water.. thank God im still alive.. that wont stop me from expanding my exploration in deep waters
I'm watching this video just because of my up coming swimming lessons. Any ways, This makes me more motivated to keep swimming. Thanks for this educational video this helped a lot.
this is the best video on how to float standing woow, that is always my problem I know how to swim but cannot stop till reaching the pool wall although I know how to float but I feel panic in deep .. now in this video I knew the technique I use to do in floating is wrong I do like stairs or bicycle ... I will practice @christian technique Insha'Allah hope it works with me ..Thanks coach 😊
I had a near drowning experience when I was little, and it has always stuck with me and I’ve been so afraid of swimming in deep water especially. But now I’m taking swimming classes and trying to gain confidence
It's so bizzare thinking so many adults are afraid of swimming and diving. That kind of deep pool is so awesome to me 🤩 Especially if there's a high tower to jump from. Like 10 meters.
I think letting your body float after going to deep end makes your body relax cause you know you're going up and then you can be more confident in the deep end
I have Aquaphobia, sooo, of I let go off the ladder and no one's around me there's a 99- 100 percent I'll drown Edit: If I drown today, well so life go. I've drown in shallow end before

My school only required us to jump in the pool and thats it lmao. They banned swimming classes when i was in 9th grade. Such a shame.

And start panicking
That’s what happened to me smh

be careful using this at the beach....pool water and beach water are not the same....no currents pulling or pushing in the pool.

Friend : Just jump in and stay calm. You'll be fine trust me.
My brain: Here is a thousand reason why you shouldn't do that. 💀
Trust your brain.
Today I trusted my friend after that I pushed him also one man camed and helped us
I never could do that.
Next time im in the pool im going to try that
Please let me know how It goes :)
Christian Wedoy yes

F4llout so... how’d it go
Pussy
Thank you...
I was panicking to jump in d pool...
But got d confidence from hearing u that "as long as our lungs are full of air, u want sink, u will float up again automatically..."

I was scared for my life the other day, some ass pushed me in the deep end.I legit had an hour of swimming experience, i made it tho...

Over the years swim instructors never taught us swimming this way. Last instructor was an Olympic games level swimmer. 🤔
Thank you for the help now I'm gonna try this and conquer my fear of water
My husband has lost his ability to swim after surgery a couple years ago, we’ll try your method !
instructions unclear. i am now dead
I tried doing this on my mind as a simulation, to view the image and grasp the feeling. But i drowned instead
